Newsweek discussed war in Syria and the liberation of strategic town “Aleppo” in a paper. It described Lebanon’s Hezbollah as the winner of the battle and wrote the victory strengthened their position in Syria and Lebanon.

“On December 22, 2016 Assad’s regime, with the help of Hezbollah and Russia, declared victory after a protracted, costly battle for the long-besieged city,” the magazine wrote in the paper referring to raising flags of Lebanese Hezbollah instead of flags of “al-Nusra Front” terrorist group during the war in Aleppo.

“The war has cost Hezbollah many fighters and military resources. But Hezbollah has emerged triumphant. And while Syria’s civil war isn’t over, and the group faces enemies both from within and without, Hezbollah has solidified its standing as the most powerful force in Lebanon,” Newsweek affirmed and noted some of Syrians- which calls them as the revolution and revolutionaries- for reform was stolen by terrorist groups like ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra.

“Once dependent on Assad for its survival, the group is now stronger than he is. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an independent organization that documents casualties of the Syrian war, estimates that Hezbollah lost 1,300 fighters in Syria. But members of the party feel their sacrifices in Syria have finally paid off, not just by keeping Assad in power but because winning in Syria has solidified Hezbollah’s standing in its own country,” the American magazine added.

“One of reason is electing Michel Aoun as Lebanon president, which is considered as a victory in the political arena for the party. Though as the rebels became increasingly radicalized, many began to see groups like ISIS as the bigger threat. Hezbollah morphed to the only entity standing between Lebanon and a fundamentalist Islamic state,” the paper mentioned the reasons of Hezbollah’s grip in Lebanon and Syria.
